Trinity Hall supports draft Policy S/OA and the proposal to carry forward the Cambridge Railway Station, Hills Road Corridor to the City Centre Opportunity Area to the emerging Greater Cambridge Local Plan.

Trinity Hall is also supportive of the proposed policy direction, in particular the drive to deliver public realm improvements. The opportunity that Land south of Bateman Street can provide in terms of an improved public realm along Hills Road should be particularly recognised in future policy wording. The Policy should explicitly attach positive weight to a development that helps to meet the aims of the Opportunity Area policy.
